How to write a Customer Service Resume

Posted by Nelson Resume on 29 Jun 2025

Creating an effective customer service resume or CV (Curriculum Vitae) requires highlighting your relevant experience and skills. A well-written resume or CV and a professional cover letter, along with a professional LinkedIn profile, could make a a big difference in getting an interview. We at Nelson Resume, we specialize in providing resume and CV writing services along with cover letter writing services and LinkedIn profile optimization services to make your profile stand out your others. In this article, we will discuss how to write about customer service in a resume or CV, demonstrate customer service skills on a resume or CV as well as provide suggestions on how to convey the skills of customer service.

How do you describe customer service on a resume or CV:

When you describe your customer service experience, be sure to focus on specific tasks and responsibilities. Utilize action verbs, like "assisted," "resolved," or "responded," to describe your work. In addition, you should include any pertinent metrics, such a customer satisfaction rates, to illustrate your impact.

How can you demonstrate customer service capabilities on a resume or CV:

As well as describing your experience, it’s important to emphasize specific skills which are pertinent to customer service, like communication skills and problem-solving capabilities. Include any relevant certifications or training, such as a customer service course or certification with a particular customer care software.

What do I write about about customer service skills:

When writing about customer service skills, focus on the most essential and applicable skills to the position you’re applying to. For example, if your job involves a lot phone communication, highlight your experiences and expertise for customer service by phone.

What do I do to write my personal experience as a customer:

When writing about your experience with your customer service experience, you should use specific examples and measure your successes. For example, instead of simply saying "Helped customers with their inquiries," say "Assisted an average of 50 customers per day with their questions, which resulted in a 90percent customer satisfaction rating."

By following these recommendations by following these guidelines, you can build an effective customer service resume, Cover letter, and LinkedIn profile which showcases your relevant experience and skills and make you a good candidate for customer service positions. Remember it is important to edit and proofread your resume or resume and letter before you submit it. You may also consider soliciting help from an expert at Nelson Resume if you need assistance.

I am a experienced RN and had my resume updated including a cover letter done by Tanja Coyne at Nelson Resume. The result was absolutely brilliant she had managed to get in all my years of experience and at the same time highlight my key achievements the resume was professionally presented as with the cover letter.

I had Tanja write my personalised cover letter and resume, I cannot fault their quality and I'm hugely impressed it was worth every dollar. I'm just trying to make a career change and I feel this resume and cover letter were the missing link between me getting an interview or missing out. So well done to the team at Nelson resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.
